Airtel Complaints & Reviews

In my mobile you have activated bhojpuri video service without my request and charged for the same.
Now i have received another message about renewal and charge for the same.
I have not used the service even once and not required as i cannot understand bhojpuri.
I tried to send a message to 155223 with stop instruction and the message is not send.

Please stop activating/renewing the service in my mobile number [protected]

If you fail to do so i will be compelled to report to complaining authorities.

But Airtel Alerts warning me the Pack benefit of 3G/4G data and Loc STD Mins is expiring today[protected]. The same Alerts from Airtel Alerts came two days before also saying your pack benefit expires within two days.

I request you to forward this complaint to M/s Airtel (www.airtel.in) so that my pack benefit for continued for 82 days, stop sending alerts without checking the actual validity of package.

I was using airtel postpaid service for more than a year but due to bad network i have shifted to prepaid, they have stop my prevoius sim facility that is of postpaid sim but they haven't started my new prepaid sim service as sum how i manage to visit airtel galary they are saying it will take 24 to 48 hrs. If it takes that much time than why they diconnected my previous sim service. I don't know what kind of service they are giving i got fedup with there service

Hello,

Was travelling to out of country for some work, called customer support to activate international roaming, gave me option for 1199 plan with unlimited incoming calls, 3 gb data and 120 minutes outgoing calls. I subscribed for both the packs

Reached my destination 2nd day phone stopped working, took a local sim and international calling for usd 40 called airtel number [protected], customer support. He informed me somehow its mentioned in notes but your plan never got activated, will do it now. As i made some calls after reaching my destination for the first day asked the rep about the charges for that he said wait till 9th of may and we will sort it out its not your fault. I did not take any chances and wrote an email to airtel with the snapshot of the sms received same day, customer support asked me till 9th may when bill gets generated.

Bill generated for inr 7119 (Charged me two extra 499 plus 1650 for calling), called their customer support same day and after many calls was able to talk to their supervisor asked me to wait for 5 more days. I informed her that i have already attached the sms confirmation which i received from airtel initially before travel, but she said will have to listen to phone conversation looks like being a telecom company airtel do not trust their own text messages they send to customers.

Called today again after 5 days they dont have any response, asked for one more day after accepting that it is their fault but needs times.

I do not know what should i do go? File a case with consumer court.

Ready to fight this non sense

There is not even 2g data available & even for calling no signal. We have to walk some distance for a network. Because of poor data some apps not even login.

Inside home we won't get even poor network strength. It's nil.

Only emergency calls are available.

Please resolve it.

Resolve it as soon as possible because the jio network is putting up a network there. Already some are planning to port their airtel to jio.

Sir, their is no tower coverage for last two days in alagapuram, salem district. Katoor tower is the nearest tower plant in the place which supports around 2000 families, (Includes children and old aged persons), where we could not make any outgoing calls as well as incoming calls, so kindly consider the problem seriously and sort it as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Dear sir,

I am constantly receiving fraudulent sms from [protected] (An airtel gsm number from tamil nadu circle area) promoting an illegal ayurvedic firm.
The sms keeps pouring in from morning 10.
In spite of activating dnd on my phone the sms keeps pouring in.
Please help me to sort out this problem as these people who are disturbing the common man with such sms can be frauds who are hunting in public an innocent common man to fall prey to their forgery and illegal business activities.

I will request airtel (Tamil nadu) zone to kindly monitor this issue and help eradicate such fraud people who are misusing the airtel connection to promote illegal business activities and god knows what all cheap business they are into and day by day harass the common man like me.

Please help me sir.

Thanks and regards

Last time i recharged my girlfriend and my sister phone airtel with unlimited pack of 169.. For 28days but it is ended in 15days only... And there is no response from customer care also... Poor service bad network... And 4g girl chutya bana rahi he... Please we are leaving airtel service... It is nothing just to fill one sim slot in phone with out any use

Earlier, on 08.05.18 complaint filed that airtel co deducted rs. 50.00 from my talk value balance. They have not refunded till now the amount. Rather again, they have deducted rs.5.00 today morning (18.05.18) by activating forcibly bhojpuri video services. Validity one day. They will again renew, i. E. Deduct on expiry of this service forcibly. I am at a loss. Airtel co has become super power. They are activating vas forcibly and deducting talk value balance forcibly and don't bother, care consumers' complaints at all. Please do something, sir. They are destroying consumers and making their lives hell.

My network disconnected even though the account is activated. This is happening for last 4 days i. E. From 15 may 2018.

Today when i went to check with the airtel service desk at reliable tech park airoli, the concerned person changed the sim and sait it will be activated in 2 hours.

I want to know, even after being loyal customer for years how airtel can disconnect my network without my knowledge.

4 days of disconnection - loss of my communication and data as well.

We opt for a mobile connection to be able to communicate in emergency, but if the service provider disconnects the network should be responsible for all the consequences due to their such act.

Dear sir,

On sunday dated 06/05/2018 i received a call from mobile no - [protected] at 11.32am, saying that i am calling from airtel and your sim will be closed and you have to change the sim from 3 g to 4g.
For this he asked to send a sms on 121.
Just after that my sim was blocked and no massage was coming on that.

Next day on dated 07.05.2018 a fraud of rs 1, 00, 000.00 occurred in my icici bank due to this fraud and sim which was delivered to some unknown personnel without any identification.

On same date we filled a complain to customer care of airtel to block the mobile no.

Now you are requested to pls identify the store and person from where this sim was issued without any identification and fraud happens with me.

In connection to this you are requested to pls compensate the amount of fraud and mental harassment happen to me and my family.

You are requested to please clarify with documents and proof.
My concern :
1. How come the fraudster was in possession of new airtel prepaid sim without requesting them against any customer and submitting any document for the same.
2. Are your unregistered sim available in the black market for any type of anti - social activities and it can be purchased like toffy and chocklet.
3. Will you still brush-off everything claiming zero responsibilities and saying that you cannot trace sim or the owner. Being a so big company (Bharti airtel).
4. What are the rules and regulations of your company to safe the private and confidential identity of the customer.
5. How can we identify the fraud when the old sim was blocked and no sms was coming on that.
6. You are rwquested to please identify this mob no - [protected] and file an fir against this process at your end. (We hope such a big company have some legal team of proffessionals)

Note : at last but not least we have mailed this issue to your nodal officer but no response has been received. ('nodalofficer. [protected]@airtel.in'), 'dthnodal. [protected]@airtel.com'

She associate cancelled my request her name is shruti.
And my request i'd is 85150380.
An i was request date is 12/04/2018. An totally 1 month and 4 day

On 02.05.2018 i had remitted rs.499/- towards recharge of airtel prepaid
Sim connection no [protected] the same was not taken in to account by airtel and the connection was cut. This made me to pay again on 17.05.2018. Rs.399/- this time for the same connection.
Both the payments by online transfer from dena bank hamilton bridge branch chennai a/c no[protected] please return the amount of rs.499/-

Hi, on 16 may my 10 rs were deducted and next day 2.5 rs were deducted from my account (Mob no. -[protected]) and i have been told by customer care executive that i called the number [protected] (Which is chargeable as told by customer care). While in my current pack (Rs 149) there are unlimited local, std and roaming calls and 1 gb/day for 28 days.
I have few queries:
1. While i have unlimited free calls why i am charged at first? And if some calls are chargeable then how can you term it unlimited? Was this mentioned in your 149 plan? I want to see the terms and conditions and please send it to my email address.
2. I am trying to check my last 5 deductions and i am getting the response "there are no transactions in last 72 hours". Even i dialed *121*51# and 12181 many times but no deduction can be found in last 72 hours. Why i am not able to see this deduction? I want the message of the deductions on mobile number.
3. When i ended the call on [protected] (For 3 min and 21 seconds) why my deductions were not shown at that time? While in other calls i am shown the deductions after ending the call with the duration.
4. I was displayed the message after some time "you have consumed 100% of your daily/weekly voice minutes". I have a screenshot of this. What this means and why it appears? Is this the correct message for the deductions?
5. When i called the number [protected] why i was not told that this is chargeable and at what rate? While on calling 121 i was informed by ivr that it is chargeable at 50 paisa/min or 50 piasa/3min (I don't remember the correct one) but still no deductions on calling 121 for any number of minutes.
6. On calling the customer care executive they told me that i was charged as 2.4 paisa/sec while i talked for 3min 21 sec which is 201 sec and 201*2.4=4.824 rupees which is lower than the deducted amount.
7. How do a customer will know that calling on a particular number is chargeable despite having unlimited calls plan?

I have attached all the screenshots and request you to please refund my deducted amount back in my account.

My airtel postpaid bill for the period:
11-march-2018 to 10-april 2018 : bill no:[protected]
11-apr-2018 to 10-may-2018 : bill no:[protected]

It is showing as i have send international sms
To the number: [protected], 25 times in april and 91 times in may.

April month they have charged for 26 sms @ the rate 5/msg which comes to : 130.00 =tax
May month they have charged for 91 sms @ the rate 5/msg which comes to : 455 +tax

But i haven't sent any sms to any international number in my life.

When i checked online the same number found
For fraud in airtel's other customer complaints too.
I guess its a fraud from the company.
If i call them upfront they are asking to pay the bill as they know the background.

And they have disconnected my number for not paying this bill

Airtel is cheating customers. Whom i need to approch to get the solution for this problem.

With out my convent airtel has deducted rs.150 from my prepaid account from my cell no.[protected] in the name of providing me a value added service called whatsmob. This amount was taken from my account at 3.55 am while i was sleeping.
I am providing you the sms as proof :-

Whatsmob service has been activated @ rs150.0 for 30day (S). Txn id n[protected], 18may18 03:55. Service will be renewed after validity expiry. To use, click http://202.174.122.12:8085/airtelwap/actnotify. Php (Data charges apply). To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223. More services? Call 56789

Later on when i woke up seeing the sms i deactivated the service using mobile app.
This amount should be credited back to my account.

Airtel activated some service called videopindw and started charging 30rs per week.

I realized it couple of weeks later and tried to deactivate it immediately but no luck with that.

I tried to check this with airtel executives in customer service desk who says they have no idea what this means.

Airtel, stop doing this & revert my money back…

Hi,
I want to recharge a postpaid number of [protected] of Rs 500 which is registered on name of Jignesh Thakkar, but I have recharged a wrong number [protected] which is prepaid as i have talked to operator of that number.I have recharged through my paytm number i.e [protected] and selected as postpaid and after successful recharge that recharge is not received by that operator. Also I have talked to paytm customer care and i got a response that they have done it successfully and its pending with airtel.I am sending you all proofs.
please look this issue and requesting you to give solution and refund of my money.

After numerous calls & conversations with the relevant team & up to multiple levels of managers, i didn't hear anything from anyone till date. This is pathetic and pitieous from airtel. Haven't encountered such a situation in last 5 years of relationship.

There are vague internet charges posted in my bill. Unfortunately, i realized that airtel customer services are more focused at fleecing customer than providing services. The last couple of weeks have been harrowing and i have seen no resolution. I am surprised, and pained at the lack of professionalism and empathy of airtel.
I have recently been abroad and started international roaming services plan on my airtel number on apr 27, 2018. To my utter shock, for the billing period from april 5th, 2018 to may 4th, 2018, i have been wrongly charged for mobile internet data & i never even switched on the data. But after generation of bill, it says total usage/pulse as 6205 (62 mb) which was never even used and for that i have been charged rs. 48, 233. Is this some kind of joke? Do you have any idea how many gb comes under 48k??
In context to above, i raised a request no. [protected] for verifying the dispute and to my surprise, request is closed without any resolution. Further, i enquired again last week and some different representative told me the request is closed and stated that the charges are valid. What is the authenticted way of this validation? Why so unprofessionalism? Why wasn't i informed on the progress / closure of the ticket?
Hereby, i completely challenge these charges as false. The billing system at your end has malfunctioned and i have been the bearer of this.
Secondly, when my credit limit is 3, 600 then how in the god's name is this possible that my usage had exceeded that amount, why was it not blocked beyond the credit limit? Why suddenly did i receive this vague bill?
There were no charges for the almost the month but suddenly between may 2nd to may 3rd 2018 i have been charged for mobile data usage which was not even turned on.

If this is the way airtel's billing systems work, i am sorry to say that i will challenge this in the consumer court or in front of the compliance authority. This is gross harassment and cheating and it seems that airtel is trying to offset its losses by falsely charging customers.in this era of transparency, such unprofessional management is unexpected from a company as big as airtel.

I do not intend to pay these false and unethical charges and i would like a full clarification and revocation of these false charges on my account from airtel immediately.

How you decided Indian fastest network is Airtel!!! I am from Hyderabad LB nagar rocktown colony, Come to my location how we are struggling with Airtel. I was many times contacted the customer care they didn't respond. Let me when your service is going to improving?? Otherwise we use to Port into jio. At least voice calls also no clarity in voice.
